Yes, one reason I didn't try it yet! However, if he/she was really able to sign a new version of an SBF (in RSD Lite it gives HAB as Signed Production, of course could be a copy of another SBF) then it might be someone who needs to hide their identity.

If anyone is feeling brave, a claim to have a rooting solution, using a modified SBF to .608, then rootkeeper........

I took the plunge and can confirm it does work, giving you a rooted .629 for those that didn't have rootkeeper prior to the upgrade. Others confirm that the same files also fix the bricked phones for those that attempted to SBF to an earlier version. So, good stuff. Not a real root for 4.5.629 (i.e. a root method that doesn't require going back to a previous version) but good enough.
